    The Maidana fight is worth tuning in for, Khan surely isn't.

    boyt?:lol:

    The poll isn't rigged. Khan just has alot of fans. They ain't boxing fans, they're Khan fans.

    Why would they vote on ESPN?

    Anything can happen in boxing, but I favor Floyd about 90-10 in that matchup.

    What is Khan going to do, try to outbox him? He'll get destroyed.

    So that leaves his other option- go for broke and just start throwing punches from many different angles. That will play into Floyd's hand even more and he'll just continually time him with accurate counter shots throughout the fight.

    Khan is a fun fighter to watch but this kid definitely suffers from delusions of grandeur if he thinks he deserves a shot with Floyd based on his resume inside the ring. He went life and death with Julio Diaz in his last fight; that's all you need to know when assessing what kind of chance Khan would have with FLoyd.

    GGG fight night weight would be around 170-175. He's bigger than Alverez. (And alot better imo- he has amatuer pedigree unlike Canelo)

    I'd like to see the fight too, but Floyd ain't ducking if he chooses not to go up to 160+. He's already above his natural weight class.

    Or the ring iq.

    Or the timing.

    Or the power.

    He has speed. That's his elite physical attribute. He throws fast flurries.

    He also has a low ring iq, bad timing and lacks power- along with the comment about lack of a decent defence.

    I'm hardly alone in thinking that. How does saying it make me a troll?

    Khan fans are almost as delusional as Khan himself.

    We all know about khans poor defence and chin but his lack of power just compounds these other flaws. He does not hit hard enough to keep fighters off him or just walking through him. Dont have to ko everyone but you have to get there respect and he cant = no power

    exactly maidana has 0 talent and its a pointless fight thats why the fighter matters more than the win, broner was overhyped anyway!

    No one is really interested in either option.
    But Bradley don't want the fight, Garcia don't want it.
    It only really leaves Maidana, it would be a stretch to even make a case for him.
    I couldn't possibly make a case for Khan.

    How pointless are these fights, who wouldn't want to see Lara vs Mayweather

    Lara is available to fight, and before you guys say he needs a bigger name,

    Guerro wasn't that known at all,

    I think floyd is very aware of Lara and will try and avoid him if he can!

    LAra could outbox floyd and outpunch him and would be like no one floyd has ever fought probably the best fihgter he will fight as far as boxing skills!

    Both don't have a chance in hell but Maidana is a better fight and also offers the WBA title. Khan offers nothing but his twitter championship.
